Hi Bill, I guess it depends on what you think it is that the market is desiring.
There is little or no apparent interest in a newly manufactured Bulova Accutron Spaceview watch. Modern Quartz watches have long since eclipsed the Accutron's claim to fame (Accuracy, no wind, freedom from positional variations...). The Spaceview was a very basic watch. It had no calendar, no alarms, nothing but a second hand, minute hand and hour hand, and a window to peek through at the inner workings. But, the market has a great interest in original, and NOS original, Bulova Accutron Spaceview watches. The Spaceview is about the only Accutron model that commands a high price. So, when some Chinese company builds parts that allow one to make a non-Spaceview watch appear to be a Spaceview watch, with the apparent intent of facilitating fraud, I think there is little to admire. -Chuck Harris WB6BNQ wrote: > Hi Chuck, > > Well, there is another point of view to consider.
